Grilled Onions
Description
This simple recipe uses red onions cut into wedges tossed with extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Grilling over medium heat allows the onions to cook until tender yet retain some bite, developing char marks that add smoky depth. The direct heat from the grill or grill pan intensifies the onion’s flavor through caramelization, balancing pungency with sweetness.
Grilled Onions can serve as a side dish or topping for burgers, steaks, sandwiches, or salads. Their softened texture complements many meals where a smoky, slightly sweet onion flavor is desirable.
